Episode 397 - The Birth of Star Wars - May 1976 to May 1977

In May of 1976, things looked pretty bleak for George Lucas' big space fantasy movie.  It was over schedule, over budget, nothing worked and the studio was getting nervous.   Somehow in 12 months, everything changed and the movie opened to sell out crowds and became the phenomenon that continues today.   This week we are talking about all the miracles that helped make Star Wars become Star Wars.  
So get your A New Hope punchcards out, listen today and celebrate the love!
